Before your Gravesend delivery arrives

Sheets travel flat on the lorry bed and are hand-offloaded or crane-lifted in packs. Gravesend is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
  • Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
